The Sonday System Assessments (SSA) product will automatically become available for users who are assigned an active Sonday System 1 or Sonday System 2 digital subscription. It does not need to be purchased or assigned separately.
Select the SSA from the Products panel on the right-hand side of your Teaching Dashboard.
Note
If you do not see the product in your Teaching Dashboard, look for your activation email. If you have not received your activation email, contact your administrator or email sondaysupport@imaginelearning.com.
The Product Home will display the Students tab for your Digital SSA. To begin assessing a student, click the student’s name. If you need to create a new student profile, see the Add Students guide.
Clicking a student's name will open the Student Assessment Overview page. Under Student Details, you can view or edit the student's information.
From the Student Assessment Overview page, you can choose which test to administer.
- Click 'Pre-Reading Survey' to assess a nonreader or a student in pre-K through 3rd grade.
- Click 'Sonday System 1 Pre- and Post-tests' to assess skills of a student in 4th grade or above, or who scored above 85 on the Pre-Reading Survey. The test can also be used to monitor progress of a current Sonday System 1 student.
- Click 'Sonday System 1 Placement Test' to determine Sonday System 1 level placement for a student in 4th grade or above, or who scored above 85 on the Pre-Reading Survey.
- Click 'Sonday System 2 Pre- and Post-tests' to assess skills of students who have completed Sonday System 1 or to monitor the progress of a current Sonday System 2 student.
- Click 'Sonday System 2 Placement Test' to determine Sonday System 2 level placement for a student who has completed Sonday System 1, passed the Entry Test in Sonday System 2, or correctly spelled 65 words of the spelling portion of the Sonday System 1 Pre-test.
Note
Pre- and Post-tests do not provide recommendations for Sonday System level placement.
Clicking an option will display your teacher window, which you will use to administer the assessment.
The teacher window will display the instructions for each step of the assessment. Follow the instructions for each step, using the Student View Window to display content to your student.
Toggle on the Use Student View Window option below the Student View Controller to open a separate window that can be shown to the student in the classroom or shared with the student remotely via screen-share while videoconferencing. The Remote Follow Feature is not available in Sonday System Assessments.
Use the 'Prev' and 'Next' buttons in the Student View Controller to navigate through the slides.
